Cision has a lot of great features, including distribution that is helpful for different information sharing across a variety of industries. Specifically great for large organizations who have the budget and news that will be picked up more frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The pricing makes it a bit unattainable for smaller enterprises. The reps call you constantly and the solutions for the price is a bit frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love being able to find the correct contact or distribute a press release immediately. Editorial calendars and HARO are a HUGE help as well. Tracking clicks and opens is super easy, as well as creating lists for future use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've had my unsaved work completely erased before due to not having an auto-save feature; that would be a huge improvement. It can get a little "messy" looking sometimes. There is definitely a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how much Cision cares about your press release. We like to send releases out at odd times, and we almost always get a call to confirm all of our details. It's great that Cision takes the time to flag odd requests and confirm that they're correct. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike how confusing all of the options are for sending our releases to different newswires. The pricing structure is weird and is hard to make sense of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the ease and user friendliness of Cision. I've used other similar products in the past and we've stuck with Cision for a few years now. I greatly appreciate the tagging system and ability to pull reports quickly. I really like the auto tagging feature where I can keep track of my campaigns or crises easily and have reports immediately for my supervisor/client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's an investment, which isn't a problem for larger companies, but can be prohibitive for smaller companies. In addition, sometimes it's difficult to get nitty gritty data. I wish some features were included in a general cost, rather than being a la carte. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the updates and recommendations. Running a startup, I often don’t have tons of time to research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike the frequency. They can be a bit much, and I find myself only reading a few. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cision's tool is very simple. The software guides us through a press release step by step, making it easy to ensure we hit every piece of the process before releasing to the press. This simplicity means that anyone can use the software with minimal training. Their customer service has always been prompt and responsive when we need to make a change or a last-minute release.

While the tool is simple, a more dynamic press release building experience would make this tool more helpful. Instead, we have to toggle back and forth between inputting text and previewing the document. More robust analytics would also be helpful to better gauge the impact of the press releases.

I've been using this service for years, the customer service is great. They have 24/hour support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a lot of extra costs and add-ons, so it is pricey for clients. Also, haven't seen tons of innovation around new ways to distribute news as journalists don't use the wire the way they used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
